Presentation: Watch Your Back
Presenter: Pat Evans
Watch Your Back
If’s easy to forget about the back side of your jewelry, but putting time into making your back interesting can add a whole new dimension to your work. I like to think of striking backs as a gift for the wearer and a lovely surprise for those people (you know who you are) who immediately turn a piece of jewelry over to view the back when they are admiring it. Captivating backs also elevate your work and they can be a signature part of your style. In this talk, we’ll look at ways to enhance your backs and delight your wearers.
